We are officially in the double-digit countdown to the wedding. 80 days to be exact. And you want to know a secret? I'm not terrified of anything that has to do with the wedding or marriage, except 2 minor details: I won't be able to fit into my dress and I'll trip down the aisle {oh and that everyone will be staring, which I don't think there is a way for me to escape that}.

I really can't control any of my fears except for fitting into my dress {and I guess I can practice walking...}. So, when some friends asked us to run in an 8k {about 5 miles} as part of the Wisconsin Alumni club, Ross and I jumped at the chance to engage in some physical activity. Hopefully some long runs like this will help me to squeeze into my dress ;).

The run was held in Regent's Park. Which if you remember from this post in January, I whined about it being too cold and bare. During this run on Sunday, the park looked completely different than my original post. It was lush and filled with beautiful trees, flowers, and people enjoying the glorious weather. Again, as I mentioned in my post about Battersea Park, I'm still completely blown away by these large parks {many of them with zoos!} in the middle of the city.

The run was fun and encouraged us to get our exercise on during a usually lazy Sunday afternoon. In fact, we got more than what we bargained for by getting lost on the run and running farther than an 8k {honestly, who gets lost during an organized race?}. We got to hang out with some friends who are Badgers {go Ohio State! ;)}. And we had the opportunity to explore a new{ish} park. Cheers to that!
